obese women and social stigmatization  

Definición

  • Anecdotal experience and empirical research demonstrate that obese individuals face a great deal of stigmatization in a variety of domains. The prevalence of obesity in the United States, with some statistics reaching as high as 65 percent of adult Americans being overweight or obese, makes such stigmatization an important focus of study because of the substantial number of people who face such stigmatization as well as the unfortunate consequences that such stigma brings to affected individuals.
